========= Team Nova ========= //Updated: 3/31/16// ===== Introduction ===== Team Nova consists of sophomore electrical engineer majors //Keane Hamamura//, //Dylan Tokita// and //Tyler Yamauchi//, mentored by //Garrett Young//. This team is a part of the newly created Vertically Integrated Project Program for SCEL at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. Hawai'i relies heavily upon imported oil resulting in high energy costs and detrimental changes to our environment. Photovoltaic systems have become a more viable and positive option for our community, however due to weather variability these systems create intermittency in energy. SCEL is working towards creating smart Photovoltaic systems through the use of weatherboxes. We will be working towards constructing our own weatherbox to be monitoring climate conditions around our campus to predict weather changes in order to optimize our energy usage. ----- ===== Goals ===== __Team Goals__\\ 1. Create a functioning Weatherbox\\ 2. Meet deadlines and create goals to mimic real life lab work\\ 3. Become effective communicators\\ 4. Become acquainted with key skills and programs such as:\\ * Soldering\\ * Software and Hardware Design (Eagle, etc.) \\ * Programming (Arduino, C)\\ * Github 5. Get to know other lab members ----- ===== Block Diagram ===== {{ :weatherbox:team_nova:screenshot_2016-03-20_19.15.20.png?600 |}} ----- ===== Parts ===== ^ Parts ^ Website Information ^ | Microprocessor | [[http://www.atmel.com/images/atmel-8271-8-bit-avr-microcontroller-atmega48a-48pa-88a-88pa-168a-168pa-328-328p_datasheet_complete.pdf|Atmel Atmega328P]] | | Transceiver | [[https://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/XBee%20ZB%20User%20Manual.pdf| XBee Pro Series 2b - RPSMA]] | | Antennae | 2.4 GHz RP-SMA Duck Antennae | | Solar Panel | [[https://www.adafruit.com/products/1525 |Adafruit 1525]] | | Charging Circuit | [[https://www.adafruit.com/products/390| Adafruit 390]] | | Battery | [[https://www.adafruit.com/images/product-files/353/C450_-_ICR18650_6600mAh_3.7V_20140729.pdf| Tenergy 18650 3.7V 6600mAh]] | | Solar Irradiance Sensor | [[http://www.apogeeinstruments.com/content/SP-212_215manual.pdf | Apogee SP-215]] | | Humidity Sensor | [[https://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/Sensirion_Humidity_SHT1x_Datasheet_V5.pdf | Sensirion SHT11]] | | Pressure Sensor | [[ https://www.adafruit.com/products/1603 |Adafruit BMP-180]] | | Temperature Sensor | [[ https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS18B20.pdf | Maxim DS18B20]] | ^ Sensors ^ Code ^ Serial Monitor Output Data ^ | Irradiance |[[.:Irradiance Code]] |[[.:Irradiance Output]]| | Temperature |[[.:Temperature Code]] |[[.:Temperature Output]]| | Humidity |[[.:Humidity Code]] |[[.:Humidity Output]]| | Pressure |[[.:Pressure Code]] |[[.:Pressure Output]]| | XBee |[[.:Xbee Code]] |[[.:]]| | Integrated |[[.:Integrated Code]] |[[.:Integrated Output]]| ^ Tested Part ^ Data ^ | Charging Chip | [[.:Charging Chip Test]]| ---- ===== Resources ===== [[https://github.com/keenwah/Team_Nova|Team Github Repository]]\\ [[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4-7X7e82gwzVnJHLUdMTTRHbU0|Gantt Chart]]\\ [[https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B4-7X7e82gwzTW5VelNxRE5DUkk|Team Google Drive]]\\ ----- ===== Meeting Minutes ===== [[.:Improvement for PCB Design June 29th, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes April 12, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes April 4, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes March 28, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes March 24, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes March 15, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes March 10, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes February 29, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes February 22, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes February 16, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes February 8, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes February 1, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes January 25, 2016]]\\ [[.:Meeting Minutes January 20, 2016]]\\ ----- ===== Presentations ===== [[https://docs.google.com/a/hawaii.edu/presentation/d/1MffLvFUw4MEs0uOKg7EPT6A9nUC4MXH-BcTLy5zn_sY/edit?usp=sharing|Team Nova Critical Design Review/Final Presentation]]\\ [[https://docs.google.com/a/hawaii.edu/presentation/d/1HVEFaIw9JR1D8guqr_oW8RSRLuPFdSVKhVcCHKKdvrc/edit?usp=sharing|Team Nova Preliminary Design Review]]\\ [[https://docs.google.com/a/hawaii.edu/presentation/d/1N1onzoif9kxDujM35PNVqsA3oFdNPBnjpRCegfHnies/edit?usp=sharing|Team Nova Proposal Presentation [First All Hands Meeting]]]\\ ----- ===== What We've Learned ===== [[.:"Your Interests" Assignment]]\\ [[.:Introduction Readings Assignment]]\\ [[.:Git and Github]]\\ [[.:Arduino]]\\ [[.:Eagle]]\\ ===== Team Profiles ===== **LinkedIn**\\ [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/keane-hamamura-807aa8102?trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile|Keane Hamamura]]\\ [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-tokita-4478ba112?trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile|Dylan Tokita]]\\ [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-yamauchi-24962180?trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile|Tyler Yamauchi]]\\
